I doubt it will be less than 600K. I guess I will be shocked already if the first week sales is less than 350K.. I dunno, I just feel like ayu should have more than 400K hardcore fans in Japan..

A mini album shouldn't reduce her sales by that much, if you take a peek at the success of Ma. Although... Ma really was extraordinary, and I don't think this album will make it there.

It'll probably have way lower sales because it's lacking quality/originality, compared to Ayu's earlier releases.
I dun even know if Memorial address is a successful album or not. Using mini-albums sales history and quality-wise as judgements, I think it's excellent. However, if looking at ayu's sales history, it's just a medium success album. I remember that when I checked the first week sales of Ma and it was around 500K, I was a bit disappointed.. (as compared to RAINBOW's first week sales , over a million copies). I know that I shouldn't compared RAINBOW to Ma since RAINBOW is full length.. but I couldn't stop myself thinking the decline of ayu's popularity in Japan at that very moment. If Ma was released between I am.. and RAINBOW era, it should be able to break 1.5 million copies easily..
